Adventure Games Theater
Adventure Games Theater
We provide personal development and team building experiences through workshops and summer camps. We use an experiential curriculum of play, theater and interactive games for the purpose of teaching and inspiring mental, physical and spiritual well being within a community setting. These programs are custom designed to meet the needs of individuals, schools, organizations and businesses. We offer nine weeks of summer camps for teens during the months of June - August, and an increasing variety of programs for youth, adults and intergenerational groups during the fall, winter and spring months.
The cornerstone of our programs is our unique mythical game in which players enter a magical world. Participants act out many roles, becoming heroes, heroines, magicians, faeries, healers, sages, warriors, and more. This experience of embodying archetypal characters helps them explore diverse aspects of themselves and their relationships with others. Participants play cooperative games, and learn team building, community growth and awareness. AGT provides players with safe boundaries, important challenges, obstacles and struggles. Through triumph and positive reinforcement, participants learn creative problem solving, conflict resolution, develop increased self-esteem, and overcome fears. For teens, emphasis is put on taking responsibility for one's actions and creating a supportive and nurturing community. For adults, the emphasis is often on reawakening the playful self and encouraging introspection and growth through the experience of mythic community.
A participant explains:
"Epic stories written by thirty people at the same time, part running through the woods like a maniac with foam weaponry, and part creating an absolutely amazing, complex, meaningful story populated with fascinating characters.”
